Yoga meditation philosophy - The soul is eternal

This is a great photo :)

Maybe those in younger bodies may not be able to "GET" what this photo is all about.

To older folks though this photo speaks a 1000 words.

This photo portrays a 'feeling' an intuitive feeling, an awareness or inkling that 'we' are seperate from the body. It doesn't matter how old our vehicle (our physical body) gets "WE" or "I" the eternal spirit spark, temporarily inhabiting the physical body - never feels old. It is only when an older person looks in the mirror that they are reminded of the fact that the body is indeed growing OLD.

We often hear our aunts or uncles, parents saying exactly that, " My body is getting older, but 'I' still  feel like a 16 year old.

This photo perfectly reflects the reality spoken about in ancient scripture, timeless knowledge which has been handed down since time immemorial, from one self realised soul to student and disciple.

The Supreme Soul speaks of this in detail in the Song of God (Bhagavad-Gita As It Is) where you can find numerous references to the fact that the soul is eternal, BUT the body is temporary, is born, experiences diseases, old age and finally when the body is too worn out, when it can no longer sustain life, can no longer accomodate the eternal soul. The soul at that point moves on and the body dies.

Yoga philosophy, the Vedas are comprised of thousands of volumes, jam packed with incredible information on life as it could be, should be, can be, depending on ones openness to spiritual wisdom.

We are all on different levels of spiritual growth, this does not matter, the main thing is to climb on board, have a look, check it out and discover what spiritual growth and wisdom is about. Find out how you can benefit, how your family and your friends can benefit. Just take some time, to look a little deeper.

There's an old saying, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," Try dipping your toe in the ocean of transcendental knowledge and experience the freedom and joy for yourself.

Yoga - Relieve back pain - Gauranga Meditation

Yoga Can Help Relieve Back Pain

Regular yoga practice will help to relieve the stress and tension that sometimes cause mild back pain, and in fact, studies have shown that yoga is the number one most effective exercise for relieving back pain. However, not all yoga poses relieve back pain, and some can in fact aggravate existing pain, so it is important to know which poses are helpful.

It is always best to do these yoga exercises under the supervision of a certified yoga instructor, and if you encounter any problems with these poses, always consult an expert.

Just a couple of sessions with a yoga instructor can help, an instructor will help you with your form and posture during poses. Here is one of the best yoga poses for relieving back pain. This pose should be done on a mat or other soft, supportive surface.


Corpse Pose: Lie flat on your back in a relaxed position, arms resting at your sides, palms down, and legs lying naturally, with knees turned out slightly. If it hurts your back to have your knees turned outward, do this pose with knees bent, feet flat on the floor. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply for a few minutes while allowing any tension to leave the body. To further relax the body and the mind you could also add a Meditation to your outward breath. For instance the mantra Gauranga which is a non-material spiritually uplifting sound which brings peace to the heart and soothes the emotions. It's very simple process.

1. While in Corpse pose INHALE through the nostrils while focusing on the Gauranga meditation. As you EXHALE say outloud Gauranga for the full extention of the outward breath. Repeat for at least 5 minutes and experience it for yourself.

This practise has many physical and well as emotional and spiritual benefits making it a truly holistic practise and experience.
